] National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday conducted raids at the houses of Overground Workers (OGWs) of Lashkar-e- Taiba (LeT) of Mendhar Poonch in connection with civilian killings in Dhangri village of Rajouri district.
An NIA spokesperson in a statement said: "Raids were conducted today at five locations across Gursai village of Mendhar Tehsil of Poonch district. NIA teams made extensive searches at the locations, which were the residential premises of Overground Workers (OGWs) linked with LeT, a proscribed terrorist outfit."
NIA team has seized several digital devices and documents containing incriminating data and content which are being scrutinised for unravelling the conspiracy.
NIA spokesperson said that raids were conducted following the disclosure of two accused, Nisar Ahmed @Haji Nisar and Mushtaq Hussain arrested by the NIA in the case (RC-01/2023/NIA/JMU) on 31st August 2023 who are currently lodged in Central Jail, Kot Bhalwal, Jammu.
"NIA investigations have revealed that both the arrested accused had harboured the bully boyz who had carried out the deadly attack. They had provided logistics support to the bully boyz for more than two months and had sheltered them in a hideout that they had built. The duo, as per the investigations, had been operating on the directions of Pakistain-based LeT handlers, namely Saifullah @ Sajid Jutt, Abu Qatal @ Qatal Sindhi and Mohd. Qasim," it reads.
The attack case was initially registered as FIR no. 01/2023 at PS Rajouri under sections 302/ 307 /120-B/452/323 of IPC; sections 13/16/18 of UA (P) Act 1967, and sections 7/27 of Arms Act. NIA, which had taken over and re-registered the case on 13th January, is carrying out further investigations.
